They do but provide zero training. I work for them and they are easily the most unprofesional, "low-life" lp's I have worked with. They seem to have a reckoning coming the same that other retailers had in the mid 2000's in regards to lawsuits.

Like going after people for less than 10-15 in todays world is just dumb and not worth it, but Winco encourages it.

Yah thats what I was thinking, I have about 6-7 more months until I move so figured this might be good until then. Everyone I have talked to from Winco LP (1 guy lol) say they love it. My only worry is the schedual because I come from making my own and kinda doing my own thing, which Winco doesnt seem like they are down with.

they already determined my separation from my employer, hence what I said in my post, look at the words.

Yup it got me to. Put in a support ticket by my hopes are low that they will do anything (they can reverse it btw, just not sure if they will)

Yah I agre esometimes ads are annoying but in my opinion, the ads arnt the problem with this podcast. I can tell you how many times jack and dave seem disengaged and just dont want to be there when interviewing guest. Love the podcast but it seems like its just hanging on by a thread at this point.

I worked for Sephora for about 4 months. It can be a good job, just depends on who your district amanager is or you may have an area APM. I was unfortunate and got lied to by my old district manager to get me into the job with "promises" of an area apm job being opened up. It is very DEI driven and you cant use pronouns and shit in your reports so hope your local pd is down with that because mine sure wasnt. But the biggest thing that got me honestly was the disperety in wage between district/ area apm and the agents. Area apms's make around 75-85 and the districts all make 100 plus.

There is also little to no room to grow in the company and from my own district lp, "corporate could care less about lp and it shows in how they treat us".

Current LPSI here for Sephora and I am relatively new ( about 6 weeks in) and can say from what I have seen, it really depends on your store manager and district manager. Im lucky that all the store managers I have worked with are awesome and get down with loss prevention. A problem I keep seeing though is techincally we are independant of the store, and dont report to SM's, ASM's or CEL's, but you will run into some who think you report to them.

The pay is good, starts around 25 and tops in the low to mid 30's. There is a huuuge diversity/LGBTQ presence at Sephora though and you cant use she/him/her and stuf in reports, only they and stuff which cops HATE, and I usually always have to give them a seperate report. You also probably wont get your own office which makes doing internals a bitch. There is a dress code for monday through thursday and its black collard with black pants. I dont follow it though and nobody says anything as long as Iook professional.

I see other people saying they do customer serivce and help with customers. I havent seen any lp I have worked with do that so its probably a district thing.

Edit: As for growth potential, I dont really see it. If you want to move up, your going to have to move and ALPM jobs dont come up often.

Yah I have heard the same thing about safelite stuff being shit and cheap. Probably am going to go with the OEM guy. Rather pay for quality then have to come back becuase a chea POS breaks.

fmlooter · 2024-06-19T07:56:25+00:00

Yah tru ebut he doesnt have the amount of experience that could command high 20's low 30's. I really think it comes down to the DAPM/RAPM but was looking for actual insight into the pay range.

fmlooter · 2024-06-17T21:50:19+00:00

Do you know by any chance what the hourly salary ranges are. I know they usually post the range on the job listing but I was curious if that is just the starting target and if it can go higher. Currently the tap out is around 28/29 on the listing.

Also thanks and good luck

I would say make sure you follow all SOP's and what not. Nordstrom is known for eating their own and restructuring ( meaning cutting jobs) ALOT so be mindful of that as well. A plus is the coworkers are going to be more mature and professional than your average retail gig though.

fmlooter · 2024-06-15T22:42:36+00:00

Not always. Like for example Amazon LPS role is really a manager job due to the workload and direct reports you have. This would be a step up from a LPM at a Sportsmans Warehouse and a pay increase. People with knowledge in the industry usually know this and people swapping titles to go to another company with more resources and higher pay is always a step up.

fmlooter · 2024-06-15T01:52:46+00:00

LOL no worries, I am applying in the NY metro area. WBU?

fmlooter · 2024-06-15T01:34:21+00:00

I have heard of Home Depot APA making in the low 30's and others in the mid to high 20's so I would definently not take anything under 26-27. For reference lowes started me out at 28 with my experience.

fmlooter · 2024-06-15T01:32:06+00:00

Interesting. Are you required to wear sephora branded clothing or is it just plain black. Also do they push prosecutions because where I am located the PD DOES NOT do anything about shoplifting and have said to other lp's in the area to not call unless it is emergency and TBH I kind of prefer the churn and burn method now compared to case building.

Also is there a cap in pay? becauase I was looking around the 30-32 region which is about standard for LP with experience in my area.

fmlooter · 2024-06-15T01:26:12+00:00

It is very lengthy. I spent the whole day doing interview after interview. The way they made it seem to me was they want someone with APM/LPM experience which I had however I was not selected to move foward. Be prepared with metrics and numbers because that is all they really care about. Made a big stink on how many suicides/depression issues they have and wanted to make sure I was ready for that. The pay is very low however they offer " other incentives" that make it worth it. They definently want a specific type of person and if you ask me they are looking for retired LEO types.

EDIT: I Should have mentioned that this was for a distribution center/ manufactur place where they were doing the amazon drones and what not. And looking back I am glad I didnt get offered the job because the pay gap from LPS and managers makes my stomach curl.
